Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status post-vasectomy), must agree to one of the following:
Note: Patients are expected to initiate therapy as close to day +100 as possible. No patient may initiate therapy before day +70 and initiation of therapy beyond day +130 is allowed ONLY for patients who meet all eligibility criteria except for hematologic parameters, in which case patients may be delayed until their hematologic laboratories meet criteria but no later than day +180. Regardless of the time of therapy initiation, patients must meet all eligibility criteria and must have completed all consent documentation and screening procedures within the specified window.

Study Summary

This trial is testing ixazomib given with rituximab after stem cell transplant to see how well it works and what the side effects are.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in remission after a stem cell transplant. They must have good organ function, no recent chemotherapy or radiation, and no uncontrolled illnesses. Women should not be pregnant and participants must agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of Ixazomib (an enzyme blocker) and Rituximab (a monoclonal antibody) post-stem cell transplant to prevent cancer recurrence. It aims to determine the best dose of Ixazomib while assessing how well both drugs work together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation by Rituximab, such as fever or chills, and effects from Ixazomib like gastrointestinal issues or skin rash. Organ inflammation and blood disorders may also occur.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the percentage of patients who have received at least one dose of study therapy who are alive and free of disease progression or relapse at 1-year post autologous stem cell transplant (Phase II)
Recommended phase 2 dose of ixazomib, defined as the dose where 1 or fewer of 6 treated patients experience a dose limiting toxicity graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 (Phase I)
Secondary outcome measures
Conversion rate from MRD positive to MRD negative during therapy (Phase I & II)
Incidence of adverse events graded according to CTCAE version 4.03 (Phase I & II)
Median OS (Phase II)
+6 more
Other outcome measures
Median OS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
Median PFS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
PFS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
+1 more

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (ixazomib, rituximab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Beginning between 70-180 days after stem cell transplant, patients receive ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15, and rituximab IV (or SC after first dose if deemed appropriate) on day 1 of courses 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
